This was such an interesting read for me as I'm currently discussing with one of my writing groups whether it would be possible for us to create an anthology of the stories. This shows it can be done. I will add this to my reading list. 🙏🏼
Absolutely @Lisa Fransson - you’re welcome to message me any time. I’m not an expert in publishing but I can certainly let you know how it went for us 😊
It’s something I’m considering and looking into as well.
I’ve met someone on linked in who creates books of 25 stories (on rare diseases) and she now coaches those who might be included in how to write their story. She also edits and publishes.
I wouldn’t want to do all that myself but she clearly knows what’s she’s doing 🙃
I started my writing journey with the OU. Creative Writing was a brand new module back in 2006, it looks like it’s developed immensely since then. How wonderful to be involved in something like this. Ordered my copy of Cloud Sneezing ☺️
I love hearing when my Book Room posts connect readers with writers. Thanks Lesley, I'm sure @Charity Reed and the gang will be thrilled to hear you're ordering your copy of Cloud Sneezing. It's a wonderful collection, you won't be disappointed. And yes, three cheers for the OU. 🎉
It’s a lovely surprise to see this today! I’m Rose Campbell-Smith (one of the authors mentioned, though it’s Rose rather than Rosemary). I didn’t realize this post was being made as no one from the Cloud Sneezing group had approached me, but it’s great to see the book out there and get some publicity. Could I just ask for a quick update to my name in the post? Thanks so much!

Oh, great. I'm sure @Charity Reed would be happy to chat.

Thank you so much. 🙏🏼 We’re still very much at the ideas stage, so nothing is happening in any rush. 🤓
I look forward to seeing it in the published stage - it's so exciting when that happens 😁

Sounds amazing Amber. Important work.
That sounds so interesting!

I loved both the undergraduate Creative Writing modules so much I started the master’s last October - it really is a great university 💖
So glad to connect with another graduate and we all hope you enjoy Cloud Sneezing!

Happy to edit you to Rose, and I'll tag you in the post.
Thank you so much Sue ☺️
